I find the labels usefull for identifying trolls. Sure, there are big cloak and dagger organisations, but then there are also people who get assasinated on teh street, doesn't mean I don't go there. Point being, it discourages basic trolling.

I would miss post counts, because I often find myself in the middle of unknown names, posting views with as many different directions as there are posters. When I look at the counts, I realise they're all new, and they're jsut guessing, except that they express tehir guesses as truths (which experienced members rarely do).

Bottom line is, I think a basic newbie/long-time member ranking is usefull anti troll munition, while post counts would be missed by me, but I can see how they could be down without.
